Sixty-eight pregnant Angus cows were used. At 121 d prepartum, cows were blocked by BW (409 ± 57 kg) and expected calving date, randomly assigned to a low-protein (LP = 6% CP) or high-protein diet (HP = 12% CP), and allocated to 12 pens per treatment. After parturition, all cows were managed in a single group until weaning. Body weight and BCS were determined at the start of the experiment, at calving, and at weaning. Progesterone was quantified weekly to indicate luteal activity and estimate interval to first estrus. Milk production was measured until weaning. The HP cows had greater BW gain during the prepartum period (P < 0.01) and tended to gain more BCS (P = 0.06) than LP cows. The prepartum diet did not affect gestation length (P = 0.44) or interval from calving to the onset of luteal activity (P = 0.35). Pregnancy rates, milk quality, and production were not influenced by dietary treatments. In conclusion, protein level prepartum in multiparous beef cows affected the BW change at calving, without consequences on reproductive performance and milk quality and yield. aGESTACIÓN TARDÍA EN VACAS aLATE GESTATION aMILK PRODUCTION aMULTIPAROUS COW aPRODUCCIÓN DE LECHE VACUNA aPROTEIN UNDERNUTRITION aREPRODUCCION aREPRODUCTION aRESTRICCIÓN PROTEICA aVACA MULTÍPARA1 aMARESCA, S.1 aRODRÍGUEZ, A.M.1 aPALLADINO, R.A.1 aLACAU-MENGIDO, I.M.1 aLONG, N.M.1 aQUINTANS, G. tIn: QUINTANS, G.; IEWDIUKOW, M.
